O. Henry Quotes, Wise Quotes, New York Quotes

You'd think New York people was all wise; but no, they can't get a chance to learn. Every thing's too compressed. Even the hayseeds are bailed hayseeds. But what else can you expect from a town that's shut off from the world by the ocean on one side and New Jersey on the other?

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn't exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn't wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception.
